[Vibrant General] Salithox:
you dont need to push any files to the phone with the adb, after you flash the eugene rom and it boots into recovery you just need to load up your adb and type this

adb reboot

thats it, and it should reboot your phone and if it does boot up fine then you can flash back to stock with odin from there.
[Vibrant General] tekowalsky:
Did you perchance happen to have installed the Team Whiskey DOW kernel on this phone?

Your symptoms match the symptoms of quite a few others.

I had done adb reboot, and it does reboot the phone.

Although it does not boot into the OS it simply goes black after all the splash animations and the touch buttons light up (Semi-bricked state again?)

I have not tried that rom, I will try it out and let you know.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Guys:

Don't follow any instruction to flash this kernel on your captivate running official froyo I897UCKB1. I tried all advices and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily the unbricking method you can find.in xda saved me. But, i had to flash.back to JF6 (2.1 eclair stock) using odin3 and then went back to kies mini to get the official froyo. I am writing this for people who like to use stock froyo instead of any.custom roms. I had to waste my time because.some.people suggested a few methods without knowing it for sure. Most suggestions are great in this forum (thats how i used serendipity.for a while). But, some or one of the bad suggestions can brick your phone real bad. So, ask as many questions as possible before going with a suggestion you see. Preferably look at how to videos. If there are none out there. Then, WAIT!
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
i dont understand why you didnt just use the ODIN flashable version of the kernel with voodoo already injected....

[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Tried all. Does not work on stock KB1 froyo. Did you successfully do this? If so and if u want to help then give me all the steps ( instead of xda thread links). Trust me i tried all and BRICKED the phone. Unless i see video evidence, i am not bricking the phone again. Thank You.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
It does work. Odin works fine. Also if you recovered your phone it was not bricked. A brick is a brick.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Then xda should remove the link for "how to unbrick" link. Brick is of two types. Soft and hard. What you mean is hard. What I meant b was soft. But, even soft.can cause serious issues. Post a video if you can. That will help a lot.
[Captivate General] Strugs:
Worked fantastic for me with ODIN.
[Captivate General] bames:
i flashed supercurios stock w/ voodoo via the kernel flasher app and it worked fine.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
I did the sgs kernel flasher method. Heard voodoo voice prompts at reboot. In the end it said "lagfix deleted". I saw the same stock kernel after that. So, what am I missing. I did everything as suggested. Didn't miss anything. I think there is something missing here. SERIOUS. I HAVE ROOTED, FLASHED CUSTOM ROMS BEFORE. I think this is.crazy.

Yes, I am positive. It is KB1. I got this from update through kies mini. Can you help me with this? I don't think stock froyo allows

HELLO,

Can I upgrade i897-UCKB1 FROM ANDROID 2.2 TO 2.3.5 ON MY SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE SGH-I897 AND HOW?

ANYONE TO HELP ME.

SANDY.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
you could start by reading the plethora of information found in these forums. if you are looking for someone to hold your hand, you might be in the wrong place
[Captivate General] kiennt:
You can. Flow this intruction:

- Copy 2.3.5 rom to SDCard

- Go to download mode

- Open Odin 3, Plug you phone to PC (Com go to yellow)

- Feed boog kernel (Search in Captivate development thread) in PDA slot

- Start

- Go CWM --> factory reset data --> install zip file

Goodluck

[Atrix 4G General] andeelym:
Good comparison there. I am also looking at the exact 2 models and thank you very much, looks like Atrix will too be my choice.

I guess I'll get the atrix laptop dock too and prays for the devs here to make it all better. Otherwise, I think its still a good piece of hardware I don't mind owning.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
""Samsung's dual-core, Gingerbread-powered Galaxy S II has appeared on Play.co.uk alongside a tentative SIM-free price and release date. According to Play, which is currently taking pre-orders for the phone, it'll ship Mar. 31 for £599.99 (~$960). Pre-release prices are never guaranteed to be accurate and are always subject to change, but £599 seams like a realistic price point for the Galaxy S II, as it's slightly higher than current single-core offerings from other manufacturers.""

Just published at androidcentral. £599.99 (~$960)?? Get a grip..
[Atrix 4G General] AJerman:
Not bad, just a couple of things to note that I thought of while reading. First, the screen resolution can be arguable considering the Pentile screen that the Atrix uses. That gives the SGS2 more sub pixels, but then it's a bigger screen, so less (I believe) pixel density still... it's really kind of a toss up, but I think they will both look great. I think the lower resolution and bigger screen on the SGS2 will look just fine with the full 3 subpixels per pixel.

Also, the SGS2 looks nothing like an iPhone. I wish people would stop saying that about every phone that comes out. Apparently every square black phone with a screen is an iPhone now.

And also it's been reported that the SGS2 does not use RFS.
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
The Galaxy S2 looks like a great phone, but even as much as I hate Motorola's implementation of the lockdown...I can't *STAND* Samsung for updates. They've promised up and down that they would release updates for every phone since Android came out, and they've delivered on about 3 of those promises...out of probably 20. They are *HORRIBLE* at updating devices and they don't even apologize when they cancel. I would *never* buy a Samsung on the hopes that it would get an updated OS.

As for the screens, I don't really notice much of a difference. I'm a pretty severe audiophile and videophile and although I can tell a difference it's absolutely not enough to make me go with one phone over another. I'm coming from an iPhone 4 which has the best screen to date on a mobile phone...and even between that and my Atrix I barely see a difference. They're both fantastic screens.
[Atrix 4G General] AJerman:
The updates aren't really an issue for people who visit sites like this. I would never rely on Samsung to update my phone. My Captivate has been running 2.2 for ages while they just released the update for everyone else. Yes, Samsung sucks at updating, but the hacking community will always get it done regardless.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
I must be the only one, but i use the search hotkey absolutely all the time. I love it and I realize that you can hold menu for the same effect on the SGS2, but i'd prefer to have the 4th hotkey than their ugly stupid home button. It is not an iPhone, embrace uniqueness samsung.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
I really miss the hardware home key! The orientation of the 4 buttons makes it a bit awkward to thumb navigate since its so close to the bottom. Its actually one of the things about the sgs2 that is making me think twice about my atrix. Despite how much I love it.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
I wouldn't mind if the buttons were hardware, thats another debate. I just want all four of them!

The back button is beyond crucial. Maybe back and home should be two hardware with the other capacitive? For symmetry, obviously a concern for samsung ;).
[Atrix 4G General] King Shady:
I definitely want the new Galaxy S 2. I've heard that the Atrix was a huge let down. I used to own a Captivate and I loved everything about it except the ****ty build quality and lack of flash for the camera. It was so smooth with voodoo and custom roms. The Galaxy S 2 will have an amazing screen and I think it will do average on battery consumption. Just my 2 cents
[Atrix 4G General] AJerman:
****ty build quality? Like hardware wise? I personally think the Captivate is the nicest of all of the Galaxy S phones. The hardware itself has been absolutely wonderful for me. The software quality leaves a lot to be desired from a stock standpoint though.
[Atrix 4G General] King Shady:
The plastic build was a huge downgrade for me, especially coming from a beautiful iPhone 4. I'm much happier with the Inspire 4G now though. HTC Sense is amazing and super smooth, and HTC build quality is great. The phone feels ultra solid.
[Atrix 4G General] s44:
SGS2 is apparently RFS-free. Also, some versions will have Tegra2 instead of Exynos - hope this includes us.

People knock Samsung's plastic designs, but they're actually a lot harder to break than the "well-built" iPhone 4.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Very good write up man, these are the posts that I like to see.

By looking at my signature, you can see that I just got the Atrix as well, and I love the phone. Amazingly fast, awesome screen (love the higher density and the effect itbhas on the overall experience), and the battery is pretty good too.

I'm seriously thinking about buying the laptop dock, but I don't know how well that will perform, and I haven't seen any live videos of it.

I really like the design and specs of the GS 2, but there are a lot of possible problems holding me back....

[Atrix 4G General] starshinnig:

[Atrix 4G General] Sebring5:
I have both and a Galaxy S 2 on order

Why? I really liked the Captivate. My plan was to use both but the Atrix is so much more fun to use I'm selling the Captivate. Well, maybe. Maybe not.

Yesterday after I removed the SIM card and replaced it, the Atrix went bonkers with freezes and instability issues. After numerous soft resets, two factory resets and replacing the SIM card, SD card and battery a couple of times it seems to be back to normal. I suspect I had reinserted the SIM card incorrectly but maybe there was another issue.

So why would I pay $1000 for the Galaxy S 2? The Captivate was that much fun. Although I'm sure we will be able to do more custom rom's shortly on the Atrix, the Galaxy S 2 sounds like an even bigger blast than either. And boy oh boy does that LG 3D look interesting. But you have to draw the line somewhere.

Here is what the Atrix has that the Captivate does not:

1-better graphics and screen quality, dynamic and vivid visuals, a joy to read and watch (text as well as video quality is sharp and crisp, very clear)

2-more interactive features with outside devices (i.e. computers)

3-interacts more efficiently with e mail, voice and text programs (really like the way it handles multiple incoming calls especially when you are already on one-notification, instructions and directions for handling)(I can now actually use Excel spreadsheets and Word documents) (works well with contacts)

4-updated browser can handle more types of video content and pop up windows better

5-it feels better when you hold and talk or watch or do most anything with it (I did make one call and even though I could hear the other party clearly they could not hear me-I do not what happened.)

My friends all tell me I should get an iphone. I had one for years and the Androids are far more fun. I'll never return. I don't think. LG 3D anyone?
[Atrix 4G General] amtrakcn:
I think Tegra2 is actually a disadvantage for Atrix 4G.

As a new generation dualcore processor, it's early, but not strong.

It's video playback ability of H.264 is limited, but H.264 is currently the most frequently played format.

It has no neon support, big loss on processing power.

Till now Tegra2 has not proven itself in Graphics power. In benchmarks it's no superior to Hummingbird.

However the performance of Mali400MP on GS2 is also questionable, so just wait and see...
[Atrix 4G General] planoman:
+1 great post!
[Atrix 4G General] AJerman:
See, I don't understand that. There is far less plastic on the Captivate than the majority of the phones out there. The front is all glass, and the back is mostly metal. It's only the top and bottom on the back that are plastic, and they have both felt very solid to me since I got the phone on launch day. I came from an iPhone 4 as well, and granted nothing compares to the iPhone 4 in build quality, the Captivate definitely doesn't seem bad at all to me.

As long as you're happy with what you have now though, that's what matters. I just think the Inspire is a bit of a waste of money considering it's lack of power compared to all the other phones coming out now. It feels like it's last generation still. I did play with it a little at the AT&T store though, and it seemed nice. If it had come out last summer with the Captivate (even if it didn't have 4G), I might have gotten it. Now I'm going to wait until a dual core offering I like though.

You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.

or

Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:

disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.

If you want to beta test the new sprint update call sprint or go to the store they have not released it to the public at large yet and wont OTA the update until they are sure it wont break anyones phone. more details in a few.

EDIT: DONT EVEN BOTHER its just as bad as the OTA EB13 and sprint pulled it from the stores about an hour ago according to tech support. still bad compass directions and data reset issues

WTF sprint/samsung WTF........

EDIT2: When I say update I mean the one in this post not EB13 OTA or self flashed. I have 2 epics one got this update it is sitting next to the other one right now. The updated one is roaming with 1 bar and the non updated one has 5 bars not roaming. No 4g on the updated one the other has 2 bars.

[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
My compass is off by about 40 degrees as well. I tried the upside down calibration. It is very apparent when using GPS status. When driving it uses gps for the compass and it is quite accurate. When you stop at a red light, it uses the internal compass and you can watch it swing off-course. For example it will read east or north-east, when it should be reading north-west.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
